✅ Ingredients

  • 1 box ready-made pie crust (2 crusts, refrigerated or frozen)

  • 3 tbsp butter, melted

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • ½ lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)

  • 1 cup pepperoni slices, chopped

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup pizza sauce (or marinara)

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

📖 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Heat to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.

  2. Prepare crust: Place one pie crust in the bottom of the dish. Brush lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder for extra flavor.

  3. Cook meats: In a skillet, brown ground beef and sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease. Add onion and garlic, sauté until softened. Stir in chopped pepperoni, pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes.

  4. Assemble pie: Spread half the meat mixture in the crust, top with half the mozzarella and Parmesan. Repeat layers with remaining meat and cheese.

  5. Top crust: Place second pie crust over filling, crimp edges to seal. Cut 3–4 small slits in the top to vent. Brush with remaining melted butter.

  6. Bake: Place pie on a baking sheet (to catch drips). Bake 40–45 minutes, until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.

  7. Rest & serve: Let pie cool 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

🔑 Notes

  • Use spicy Italian sausage for extra heat.

  • For a crispier crust, cover edges with foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning.

  • This pie reheats beautifully — tastes even better the next day!

🌟 Variations

  • Supreme Pie: Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, and black olives to the filling.

  • Cheese Lover’s: Mix mozzarella with provolone or fontina for gooey layers.

  • Low-Carb Option: Make the filling and bake it casserole-style without the crust.

  • BBQ Twist: Replace pizza sauce with barbecue sauce for a smoky, sweet version.

❄️ Storage

  • Fridge: Store leftovers covered up to 4 days.

  • Freezer: Wrap whole pie or slices tightly in foil, freeze up to 2 months. Reheat at 350°F until warmed through.

💌 Final Notes

This Deep Hamburger, Sausage & Pepperoni Pie is basically pizza in pie form — rich, cheesy, savory, and totally comforting. Perfect for game day, Sunday dinner, or when you’re craving something indulgent.
